APPARATUS PGB. MAKING PAPER BOXES. Y

SPECIFICATION- TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: i l v Be it known that I, RICHARD T. BARTON,'of the city of New Haven, in the county of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and improved Machine for Cutting and Moulding Paper, Tin, Zinc, and other Materials; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the same, "eference being had to the accompanying drawings forming apart of this speciiication, in which'- Fgure 1 represents a. longitudinal vertical lsection of my inventiom Fgure 2 represents a perspective end view of the same.' t

Figure represents a face view of the die reversed with corner punches.

4 Figure 4 represents a perspective view.

Figure 5 represents an internal view of the recess which receives thedie.

Figure 6 represents the foundation4 for the recess. i i i y Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts iu the `six views of the machine, which is to manufacture boxes of tin, paper, or other niateriais. I

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, Iwill proceed to describe it with reference to the drawing.

This invention consists in an iron frame bolted on to a table or platform, from which arises the sides of the recess, E, which is a. little wider at the bottom than at thel top, so that when the paper or other materialis cut or moulded it will leave the die, B, and fall from the .-recess. AIt also consists in the die or plunger, B, on which is fastened knives, A. The distance from the edge of the knives to the outer edge of the recess will be the depth of the box of tin' or other material that will be formed. It consists also in four punches, C C C C as shown in gs. 3, and 4, byY lwhich the four Corners of the paper or other material will beY cut at the same time as the papel: or other material is cut to form the size of the box the four corners being cut out, the die at the same time forms the box, by instantly turning up the four sides of 'the material of which it is made. A movable plate may be attached to the face of the die B by'four` bolts, the heads of which maybe counter-sunk in the face of the die B, and round which bolts may be a spiral spring as shown in section D; this is intended to force the box' when formed to leave the die with greater ease; but itis 'found to operate without the spring. t

Having thus fully described my invent-ion, what I claimas new, and desire to secure by. Letters Patent,'is-

1. The formation of' the recess E. l.

2. The arrangement of the knives A A A A. l 1

3. The punches, C C C C, all ivcomlinationfand constructed for the purposes herein specied;
